DIDDY SETS A TELEVISION RECORD: Mogul is first African American to have four shows on TV simultaneously.
*P. Diddy is doing big things on the small screen. The rap mogul, born Sean Combs, says he’ll enter the record books this spring and summer as the first African American producer to have four shows airing on television in the same year.
In addition to his current MTV productions “Taquita & Kaui” and “Run’s House,” and a second season of “P. Diddy Presents: The Bad Boys of Comedy” on HBO, the artist will premiere a fourth season of “Making the Band” on MTV in June.
"When I do something, it's got to be the biggest and the best,” Diddy said in a statement. “I'm really proud to be one of TV's leading producers right now and am working hard toward achieving a television legacy like Aaron Spelling.”
In “Taquita & Kaui,” airing Mondays at 10:30 p.m. ET, Diddy documents the lives of two girls who met on his series “Making the Band 3.” Although they didn't make the final cut, the deep friendship they formed and shared passion to make it big in the entertainment business has brought them to Las Vegas to take another shot at showbiz.
Leading into “Taquita & Kaui” is the third season of “Run's House,” which offers a glimpse into the lives of hip-hop royalty Reverend Run and his family.
“P. Diddy Presents: The Bad Boys of Comedy” is described by the “Last Night” rapper as featuring the "edgiest, youngest, freshest comics in America." Besides creating and executive producing the show, Diddy appears in each episode. The show can be seen Fridays at midnight on HBO.
